I am an instructional designer with an unconventional professional journey that includes music education and performance, applied linguistics, English as a second/foreign language instruction, and fire protection design engineering. This broad range of experience has given me a rare combination of analytical rigor, creative sensitivity, technical precision, and deep intercultural awareness. I use these strengths to partner closely with subject-matter experts, break down complex material, and build learning experiences that are logically structured, visually clean, and genuinely learner-centered. My goal is always to create content that is engaging, inclusive, and effective for diverse audiences worldwide.
